Preliminary questions [33368]

22369 [1] there is some evidence that hypercortisolism may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.

21743 — the veteran has suffered from hypercortisolism at some time.

622 [2] the veteran has had Cushing's syndrome at some time.

or

21744 [3] the veteran has suffered from corticoadrenal overactivity at some time.

33400 [4] the veteran was suffering from the identified illness or injury, a type of hypercortisolism, at the time of the clinical onset of morbid obesity. [5]

33401 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the hypercortisolism and VEA service for the clinical onset of morbid obesity.

33402 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the hypercortisolism and operational service for the clinical onset of morbid obesity.

or

33403 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the hypercortisolism and eligible service for the clinical onset of morbid obesity.

Clinical onset and operational service [33402]

21749 — the identified illness or injury, a type of hypercortisolism, is causally related to operational service. [6] [7]

Clinical onset and eligible service [33403]
